In this alternative history to the opening gambit of World War II in the Pacific, Admiral Halsey is given command of the U.S. Carrier Fleet during the Battle of Midway. After an initial set-back, he must use all his guile and resources to save the fleet if is can salvage the Pacific operations

The Great Martian War: Invasion!, by Scott Washburn. Having been beaten back from their initial foray in Britain at the turn of the century, Martian warships land in the American west. Using limited technology, U.S. forces must fight the Martians with improvised technology.

I am always wary when it comes to books adapted from games, but since I love the game I thought I would take a chance. I was very pleasantly surprised. The book captures a slice of alternative history in an engaging and exciting manner. The author manages to run the gamut from large scale history all the way down to very personal stories in the Martin conflict. I really couldn’t stop reading and lost all track of time when I started the book. So that leaves me with only one real problem… the next one isn’t out yet. - Brian

On a lovely summer evening, naval officer Robert Hancock and his daughter, Melissa, look up to see a space battle between alien spaceships taking place in orbit above Earth. Astronaut Kay Youngs and engineer Usha Vasthare have a much closer view from the International Space Station. When one of the alien ships crash lands near an American city, the main characters find themselves drawn into an ancient interstellar war. As evidence mounts that one side in the war has been manipulating humanity for decades in hopes of turning them into unwitting allies in their conflict, the humans are faced with the fact that the other side is preparing an attack to make sure there are no Earthlings left to become allies to anyone. With time running out, the humans must decide who—if anyone—they can trust and how they can best survive the coming storm.

Markov's Prize is an isolated planet within the Determinate, cut off since the 6th Age. Its human population have thrived and advanced over the centuries but now, recently rediscovered, they find themselves simultaneously invaded by the aggressive and bloodthirsty Ghar Empire and the expansionist PanHuman Concord. The Ghar are looking to plunder the planet for resources and slaves while the Concord desire to assimilate the planet into their collective whole, believing it to be the best course of action for the Concord and the planet's people.

Strike Commander Ryen Tahl is a soldier in the PanHuman Concord, responsible for a Company of some sixty troopers who are at the forefront of the invasion. Previously a famous martial arts champion with a deadly reputation, he has softened and matured over the years and now prioritizes the safety of his men and women above all else.

Tahl's Company is not Special Forces; there is no secret mission and no universe changing event they will be involved in. They are ordinary people embroiled in the daily operations of a front-line war against a vicious adversary and the stoic defenders of Markov's Prize.
